Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Castiglione Falletto, 1970 (1.5L)
A 1.5L museum piece from a pivotal moment in the Mascarello family's history. 1970 was the year Mauro Mascarello (who had taken over from father Giuseppe in 1967) made the family's first-ever single-vineyard bottling from their Monprivato cru. This wine, labeled simply 'Castiglione Falletto,' represents the older tradition the family had practiced for generations: blending Monprivato fruit with grapes from other sites in the village to make a single classical Barolo. 1970 was a structured classical vintage, and 55 years on in magnum this is a piece of Piedmont winemaking history from the cusp of the modern single-vineyard era. The slow-aging format only deepens the spell.
